You're using Game Maker 7.5.77? There's a bug in 7.5.66 that won't let you install extensions.

You can check your GM version in the top-bar, 'Game Maker for Mac'>'About Game Maker'.

You can install the gex by getting it out of the .dmg and putting it anywhere you want. On Game Maker for Mac, there's a little green plus (+) sign, in the main window. Click on it, then click on the 'Install' button on the window that pops out, another window will pop out, click on Install (again), and select the GMac-Terminal gex wherever you put it. It should appear as installed on Game Maker, and you should be back in the second 'Install' window. Click on OK, and you should be back on the first install window. On the available packages window, click on GMac-Terminal, and then click on add.

GMac-Terminal should now be enabled for your game. The run_terminal command should appear on that hint autocomplete box on the code editor, like normal GML commands.

Be sure to use the example.gmk file to see if the extension was installed properly (it will create a link to home in your desktop if it is), and read the help file!

And have fun using 'say'.

EDIT: I tried it myself. The following command is pretty funny:

run_terminal("say -v 'Cellos' 'Droid'");

EDIT: I just noticed I packaged the wrong help file with the extension. I'll update it right now. Please redownload.

You need to load it using Game Maker. This very question has already been answered in this topic...

Hi ugriffin, I was just wondering... What does the command return? Would be handy if if returned the terminal output or whatever great extension, by the way.

I try to help people around on the forum. I can be quite good at it. But sometimes I consult the wiki. Quite often actually.
And since so many people do it, here you go, a paradox. This statement is false
And a spoiler trap.
